Ingredients
For the browned honey butter

  • ¼ cup honey
For the waffles
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • fruit, for serving
Instructions
For the browned honey butter
  1. Melt 4 tbsp of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter until it starts to brown and turns a light amber color. Remove from the heat and pour into a small bowl. Add the honey to the bowl and stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 10-15 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp butter.
For the waffles
  1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until just combined. Add a scoop of the whipped egg whites to the batter to lighten it. Add the remaining whites to the batter and then fold them in gently until there are no more white streaks to be seen.
  4. Cook the waffles in your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve with the browned honey butter and fruit.
